    John Tortorella had just won his first game with Philadelphia when an old friend stopped by outside the locker room to congratulate him.

    ''We missed you!'' NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman told the new Flyers coach.

    Welcome back to the league, Torts.

    He got more than a win and some well-wishes from the commish - the Flyers awarded Tortorella the game puck.

    ''He just laughed and said, `See you tomorrow,''' forward Travis Konecny said.

    Konecny and Morgan Frost scored 23 seconds apart in the second period to help Philadelphia beat the New Jersey Devils 5-2 and made Tortorella a winner in his Flyers debut Thursday night.
